Team Sweet Grass is moving Clap When You Land forward for the finals. Honestly, the majority of us did not want to move New Kid forward last round but the other teams in our bracket out-voted us. The same 2 holdouts from last time are still holding out. This time is was a graphic novel versus an novel-in-verse which lead some to say...I just want to read an old-fashioned book.
Like last round, the books really appealed to two different audiences, we could (and do have New Kid) in our school library. But could not (and will not) have Clap When You Land in our library which is ironic because we have a Spanish bilingual program! If you get a chance, listen to Elizabeth Acevedo read her own novel and hear it the way she meant for it to be heard - she is an excellent narrator.
So the applause goes to...Clap.
